If you've logged on to eBay recently, you might have noticed something new going on with its home page. The Designer Collective is changing the game for the shopping mecca, allowing designers to set up their own (very professional looking) storefronts and sell current-season, non-reduced wares.

Checkout will occur from one basket, with one charge, and there are multiple pieces and sizes available. The last part might be the most exciting for me, personally, after too many experiences of finding the perfect thing, only to realize it's not my size and no manner of tailoring or squeezing will make it work (and don't even get me started on the heartache of losing a bidding war).

The collective is launching with 16 designers, including House of Harlow, Rebecca Minkoff, Cynthia Rowley, and Kenneth Jay Lane. The list is expected to grow with new brands, and there's no end time to any sale (like the model of a flash-sale site). All in all, it's another way to shop online, which really is the spice of life.

Are you already a dedicated eBay shopper? Excited about the idea of using the site for a different kind of shopping?
